3. Regulation Use
The models VKA-... are usedfor measuring andmonitoringof viscousliquidflows
(30- 540 mm2/s). They are suitablefor measuringclean andhomogeneousfluids
which havenoeffectson theinstrumentmaterials used.
If using higher viscosity media, large deviations will occur to the measured
values.
Large dirt particles may lead to blocking of the float and cause false alarm condi-
tions.
Ferritic particles deposited on the float (with magnet) may lead to the same
effects.
Theinstrumentsare provided as follows:
Flow measurement(onlyfor ModelVKA-2.. andVKA-3..)
The actual flow rate may be read off the magnetically operated pointer indicator
mounted on the instrument. The scale indicates the flow rate directly in litres per
minute.
